Participants vary in age from 50-85 years. The overall enrollment has average 40 participants each year for over ten years. This program is under the supervision of a FAU faculty member from the Department of Exercise and Health Promotion. The program serves as a practical experience for FAU undergraduate students in Exercise Science and Health Promotion during their senior year. Being that the program serves as a required class for the students, staffing is guaranteed. The students must prove proficiency in exercise leadership skills such as heart rate and blood pressure monitoring. The knowledge base of the students provides the participants with a safe and effective program. All of the program personnel are certified in CPR and First Aid. The exercise program meets three mornings a week from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. in the Teaching Gymnasium at FAU in Boca Raton. The program has been running consistently for twelve years. Acceptance into the program is based on physician's approval following an extensive health history review. The exercise program is based upon the participant's medical history, fitness evaluation, and personal goals, following the American College of Sports Medicine Guidelines for safe and effective exercise participation. Daily activities of the program include walking in the gymnasium, stationary biking, strength training, and flexibility exercises. Blood pressures and heart rates are monitored throughout the sessions. The last half hour of the morning consists of an organized cool down section which can include flexibility and resistance band exercises. In addition to the exercise participation, weekly well spot lectures are included at the end of the stretching period. These are quick, informative health-fitness mini-lectures prepared by the students and faculty on topics of interest to the participants. Both participants and students seem to benefit from this collaborative exercise program. Many of our participants have been regulars for at least five years or more. The participants enjoy the program because they feel it affords them appropriate exercise in a safe environment. With the student staff changing every semester, it gives them a fresh prospective each time. The students gain experience in dealing with the older adult and a chance to practice their learned skills. The program does help bridge the generation gap from both sides. 7) Dissemination Choice: I wish to be considered for a 30 minute presentation at the 2003 Best Practice ExChange on December 3-4, in Tampa, Florida. I give permission for the submitted information to be disseminated in electronic and/or print format if not selected for presentation. 8) Budget:The FAU-Well Program does not have a separate budget as it is run through the Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion.
